[Chorus]
Don't cry, this is natural
These are living rooms
These are your friends
Don't cry, this is natural
We may never know when this phase will end
[Verse 1]
I just received an offer with a stipend and stress
And I'm scared to d**h that I'll tell them “yes”
I know that I'll complain of being held under duress
Yet my draft is open, I'm typing “yes”
I don't know why I always wink at harm
I hold trouble in my big strange arms
And tell it, “You'll be mine forever”
I opted out of busing where I needed to go
And I walked two hours in the polar cold
I was offered to be driven, but I wasn't sold
And I froze and froze in frigid folds
I don't know why I let myself get hurt
I hold a spoon up to my just desserts
And tell it, “You'll be mine forever”
[Chorus]
Don't cry, this is natural
These are living rooms
These are your friends
Don't cry, this is natural
We may never know when this phase will end
We've just got to know that today will end
I think I'll eat a messy mountain and decide I will
And I walk two miles, go to Jeri's Grill
I know I'll never be a dainty daffodil
So I widen field-size at Jeri's Grill
It feels ridiculous to know my faults
And take them dancing in a doe-eyed waltz
And whisper, “You'll be mine forever”
I think about the girl that gives me prickled hairs
I look across the booth, and she's very there
I know she's not an angel and I barely care
I will her where I will, and she's very there
I think I'm terrified of knowing joy
It's all disintegrants that I employ
And tell them, “You'll work here forever”
I tell them, “You'll work here forever”
Scared that they will work here forever
[Chorus]
Don't cry, this natural
These are living rooms
These are your friends
Don't cry, this is natural
We may never know when this phase will end
We've just got to know that today will end
